King David is one of the most important and fascinating
figures in the Bible. On the one hand, he is described as “a man after
God’s own heart.” (What more could be said of anyone!) On the other
hand, he was a serial sinner who violated multiple Commandments and made
repeated mistakes in every area. How can we understand this seeming
contradiction? Our lesson looks at an obscure but marvelous episode in
David’s life (2 Samuel 9) showing his radical humility and generosity.
These traits made David beloved to God — “successful” — and placed him at
the head of Jesus’ own family tree.
